Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi Folks. Newby here from Houston Texas. Stumbled upon this site while looking for info about my broken Vizio 26" tv. At my old job, I had seen many bad caps on PC power supplies and motherboards. I personally had a couple of caps blow out on my mobo from ECS and Abit. Them bad caps followed me home from work!
Anyway, I ordered the replacement caps from a place with lcd in the name. Replaced the bad ones and it's working again! And to think I almost threw away the TV!!!
I will always try to repair or find a home...

Hi Folks. I stumbled across this site several years ago trying to figure my computer mobo problems. Computers would not boot or POST, etc. It sure helped when troubleshooting the problems. Open the case and look at the mobo or power supply and there all those straggly bastages....leaking.
All were due to 'bad caps." Now I'm back trying to fix an old vizio 26" lcd tv.
Wish me luck. Looks like caps on the power supply board. Sure is a lot of good info here. Thanks, Robert
